The Secret is in the Tips

The interchangable tips swap in seconds and store neatly in the back.

Or plug 2 or 3 thingCHARGERs together and charge all your things at once.

Extra USB Outlets Underneath(In case you ever need them)

thingCHARGER is all about getting rid of USB wires everywhere, but we know there are times when you'll want to plug and play.

Wanna talk and charge? Plug right in underneath.

Unique 'Invisible' Design

thingCHARGER's design is so simple, so essential, that although it is completely new, it feels utterly familiar — as though you've used and loved it all your life.

And when you plug it into the wall outlet thingCHARGER is essentially invisible when viewed from the front. Its slim profile means its visual impact is negligible from all other angles.

thingCHARGER's not the only charger you'll ever need. But it is hands-down the best-designed you'll ever own.

All chargers use power when they are not in use.

But thingCHARGER uses extraordinary new circuitry to all but eliminate this 'vampire' current.

How it Works

Just plug thingCHARGER into any wall outlet. The regular outlets on the front are live whenever your wall outlet is.

The USB outlets (on the underside, so hidden when not in use) and the device-tip on the top are live whenever thingCHARGER is switched on.

Safety

thingCHARGER will be 'ETL Certified' — to the gold standard of electrical equipment safety, because nothing is more important than delivering a product that puts safety first.

The thingCHARGER Story

One day, while fooling around with an 'award winning' charger that wobbled, had messy wires and a host of other flaws, it dawned on Seymour that a simple box which allowed a device to stand on top and charge would solve all the problems...

Amy agreed: "Most of your ideas are pretty dumb" she said lovingly, "but this is great! Go to the basement and don't come out until you've built a prototype."

The vision was born!

thingCHARGER has gone on to be the most successful crowdfunded mobile accessory of all time.

Manufacturing

We've partnered with P3, a Manhattan-based American manufacturer of really high quality products. For 25 years they've made niche, finely engineered devices – we're thrilled to have such a phenominal partner bringing thingCHARGER to market.

What About Lightning Tips for Apple?

When Apple switched to the new Lightning connector they added in a special, very expensive, chip.

Some cheap connectors use counterfeit chips and quickly fail: Apple upgrades iOS software to stop them from working.

We're doing it right and using the Apple-authorized chips.

Where We Are Now

Right now we are tooling: making the molds that are used in manufacturing.

As soon as the tool is ready we'll be in for 'ETL' certification (time for this varies from 8-12 weeks or so) and then production can start.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I keep my devices in their cases when charging?

Thanks to our supporters' feedback, yes.

We've designed an adjustment system, so you can fine-tune the height to be just right for your situation, with or without a case.

What if it gets knocked by my child, pet or clumsy spouse?

You know your own house, your own devices and your own life. Just use thingCHARGERs where your things will be safe.

How much power does it use?

thingCHARGER makes only a small difference to the load on any outlet. (Maximum 1/2 amp on your 110v outlet).

How stable is thingCHARGER?

thingCHARGER itself is very stable. By design you'll see it has two sets of prongs on the back. The second set isn't needed for electricity, it is there purely to make sure thingCHARGER sits really firmly in the outlet.

I can't wait! When will you ship?

As we get closer to shipping we'll keep supporters updated; currently shipping is slated for Q2 or Q3 2015. Because it may ship sooner (or take longer), we'll provide schedule updates as we have newer info.

Will my precious iPad/Kindle/Galaxy etc. be safe?

Just make sure that if you stack several thingCHARGERs together you put your largest thing closest to the wall.

How many can I stack or plug together?

No more than feels stable and safe to you, and never more than 3 please. If you have a large item like a tablet, put it on the inside nearest the wall.
